Sorority women combat stereotypes of Greeks

By Karla Kingsley | May 1, 2002

In an open and candid presentation, "Dartmouth Sororities: A Look from Within," 10 sorority members spoke on a variety of issues, withholding nothing from their speeches and attempting to dispel stereotypes given to members of the Greek system. In front of a diverse crowd that included Greeks, non-Greeks, '05s and administrators, the women addressed race, body image and the Greek/anti-Greek controversy that continues to rage on the Dartmouth campus. Dara Adams '04, programming chair of the Panhellenic Council, was motivated to organize the event because, "the sorority system is representative of a huge number of women on campus and we don't get together enough to voice our opinions." Jana Borg '02 addressed arguments that single-sex organizations are exclusionary and anti-feminist.

Dartmouth cancels IMPS program

By Kristina Mendicino | April 26, 2002

Dartmouth's Integrated Math and Physical Sciences program, initially envisioned by reviewers from the National Science Foundation as a potential paradigm for interdisciplinary studies throughout the nation, was not offered to this year's freshmen class and has now been officially discontinued. Although professors and students alike praised the unique program -- which consisted of courses integrating freshman math and science team-taught by professors of several departments -- budgetary constraints forced the involved academic departments to cut back their commitment to the program. Professors Mary Hudson and Miles Blencowe from the physics department explained that limited resources motivated the department's decision to no longer offer the physics component of IMPS. Because the physics department offered four introductory sequences of physics, including IMPS, it was difficult to maintain the program with only 16 faculty members, explained Blencowe. Also, the balance between students beginning the IMPS sequence in the fall and those beginning the Physics 13/14 sequence in the winter was highly uneven, Hudson said.
